Speaking on BT Sport, Carney said: 'I didn’t like it. It’s a team sport game and yes you have missed your chance and these opportunities you want to be scoring.

'But you’ve got to be celebrating with your team-mate going 1-0 up early in the game.

'For me it is a bit selfish. You can have that disappointment after the game.'

It took Emile Smith Rowe just 10 minutes to open the scoring for Arsenal against Vorskla

Nketiah, 19, did get to his feet and join his team-mates in celebrating with Smith Rowe, who now has three goals in his last four games for Arsenal.

Smith Rowe's opener was one of three scored by the Gunners in the first half in Kiev.

Aaron Ramsey was fouled in the box and then stepped up to convert the subsequent penalty, before Joe Willock added a third with a sublime finish.

Fellow pundit Martin Keown admitted he felt the striker's frustration at not scoring, but labelled the response 'strange.'

Former Arsenal centre back Keown said: 'It’s a strange reaction.

'I do agree, but you know what strikers are like, they want to score the goal, but it is more important the team win.'

The pair had more praise for team-mate Willock's strike, with Carney labelling it Henry-esque.

She said: 'The way he has opened up his hip, and just rolled it into the corner that is something Thierry Henry would have done.

'He has held his run well, it was a good counter-attack, and he was driving forward. It was poor defending but he has capitalised.

'Thierry would do it at very high speed, but he was given a chance and he has tucked it away and it was a great finish.'

Keown went further, insisting that Willock deserved a chance at first-team football, either with his parent club or elsewhere on loan.

Keown said: 'I have been really impressed with this young man. I think he is demonstrating above any other player on this pitch that he should be playing first team football, whether it be at Arsenal or somewhere else.

'He has now reached that stage where he is going to have be allowed to play football because I think he has been outstanding.

'Either Premier League football or go to another club as part of his development.'
